Michael Ignatieff auctions off dates with his supporters to raise cashOTTAWA (CP) - What's a date with a Liberal MP worth?
An online auction currently under way to raise funds for frontrunning leadership hopeful Michael Ignatieff provides some clues.
Lunch with rising backbench star Ruby Dhalla, Brampton MP and onetime beauty queen and movie actress, is one of the hottest items up for grabs, with the high bid ringing in at $151 late Tuesday.
By contrast, a chance to spend a "whale of a day" at Niagara Falls' Marineland with Toronto MP Albina Guarnieri and her spouse has proved less appealing. Highest bid: $62.

$3,501.00 Gentlemen...put your hands together for... Ruuuubaaay
(no shouting "shower!" or "take it off!" guys -- this is the Parliament of Canada, not some Kingston peeler joint)
